Pasta, Broccoli, Pasta, Chicken, and Cake

 
Food Time
 
Several nights ago we made A Cajun Chicken Pasta. The recipe was a bit runnier than we anticipated so extra cheese was added and it was AMAZING.
A few nights later, Jerad and I went on a date to O'Charleys to use a gift card we received for our birthdays. Jerad ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta... Ours was better. Way better. This recipe will become a staple in our house. Recipe Here
 
 Tonight we had Crock Pot Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken, Spicy Broccoli, Parmesan Basil Orzo, and a Chocolate Coke-a-Cola cake for dessert.
 The broccoli was raw. I washed it then just tossed it in Paprika and red pepper flakes. Um.
 
 This isn't one of those place in a crock pot and leave all day meals. Sadly. But it is very easy. It cooks in 4 hours on low, 2 on high. Any longer and the chicken is over done and slightly mushy. Recipe Here
 
 This was SOOOOOO good. I made the whole amount, I usually half recipes since it's just the two of us, so I could have lunch tomorrow. I just knew this would be delicious.Recipe Here
 
It's so yummy. The cinnamon is more pronounced than I thought. It makes it so much better. The icing called for 4 cups of Confectioners sugar. Dumb Dumb me grabbed a box of regular sugar at the store. EVERY box around the one I grabbed was confectioners. Except the one I grabbed.... This would happen to me. Of course I'm too cheap to drive back to the store so I used regular sugar instead. and I only used a cup instead of 4. It's not nearly as sweet as it should be and It wasn't thick at all. Which is fine with me. I hate icing normally and this version made it crazy moist and wonderful with ice cream. Recipe Here
